Question

HTML Code in OneDrive Will Not Work

Aaron Nusz 0

When I try to copy an HTML code for a PowerPoint that is already being shared, I get a "Sorry, an error has occurred" message. This happens when I try generating the code, and when I look at where the HTML is already embedded. This issue will intimately resolve, and work fine, but then go back to the same problem after 5-10min.

This may be caused by a temporary OneDrive or PowerPoint sharing/embedding issue. I would first refresh the page, sign out and back in, and try opening the file in a different browser or private/incognito window. Also check that the PowerPoint file has the correct sharing permissions and that embedding is allowed. Since the issue temporarily resolves and then returns after 5–10 minutes, it may also be a service-side problem. If it continues, checking Microsoft 365 service status or contacting Microsoft Support would be the best next step.

Since both generating a new embed code and viewing an existing embedded presentation fail intermittently—and then work again without changes—this likely points to a temporary PowerPoint for the web/OneDrive service issue rather than an error in your HTML.

Please test PowerPoint for the web in an InPrivate/Incognito window with browser extensions disabled and, if possible, on another network.
